Cascade Microtech-Gryphics,
Inc integrated circuit test sockets feature:
- Superior
electrical performance providing best test results at high frequencies
required for RF wireless and Broadband applications due to application
specific contact design which offers low inductance values.
- More
than competitive pricing to lower your overall development, prototyping,
failure analysyis, and test costs or more sockets for the same money so data can be
correlated.
- Small
footprint that allows more space for components or decrease the size of
your test board.
- Short
lead times with many socket configurations in stock for next day
shipment.

Gryphics G80
Grypper sockets solder to the same footprint as the BGA device and
offers the convenience of being able to plug and unplug your chip onto a
system motherboard without time consuming desoldering operations which may
damage the expensive chip and board. |
 |
Gryphics BGA sockets feature low inductance,
0.56-0.76 nH with -1 dB @ 15 Ghz and 50 ohm inductance through the
contacts. Ideal for laboratory work and device characterization.
Also, a small footprint
design that takes up less space on the DUT board and has cutouts that
allow components up to 1.8 mm tall to be mounted on the board underneath
the sockets, saving space and permitting decoupling capacitors to be
closer to the signal pads. Various lid options are available
including hinged, clip-on, heat sink, and with cut outs for probes. |
|

|
Gryphics ATE sockets for high volume
production test feature less than 0.5 nH inductance and 300,000 to 500,000
cycles. Contacts are field replaceable and the sockets have extremely
small footprints to save board space and allow capacitors to be mounted very
close to the pads. For QFN, QFP, SO and other small leaded and
unleaded devices. |
|
Gryphics QFN sockets feature low inductance, 0.86 nH with -1
dB @ 10 GHz. They also have a very small footprint ~ 1 square inch
with cutouts to allow components to be mounted very close to the signal
pads on the DUT board. Low cost and short leadtimes. |
|
 |
The Gryphics BGA Grypper socket can be
soldered directly to any printed circuit board using the same footprint
and layout as that for the device. Only 3 mm wider than the device
itself the Grypper socket can be used where testing needs to be done on
production boards and not specially made DUT boards. Same electrical
performance, low inductance, 0.56-0.76 nH with -1 dB @ 15 Ghz and 50 ohm
inductance through the contacts, as Gryphics' standard BGA sockets. |
|

|
Gryphics QFP and SO device socket feature < 1 nH
inductance and small footprints. Ideal for failure analysis and
device characterization these sockets feature low cost and short lead
times. |
